“Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.”

Voucher Advocates Claim Program Has Resulted in More Money for Indiana Public Schools

The Indiana Department of Education announced Wednesday that $5 million is owed the state's schools because of savings
achieved through school vouchers.

The state spends less money on students
receiving vouchers than for public school students, and the difference
is returned
to public schools. ...

Melissa Ambre, DOE director of school
finance, wrote in a memo to members of the State Budget Committee, that
even though
there was roughly $5 million saved, the
state only had enough money to return $3.3 million to schools.

...

But opponents, led by the state's
teachers unions, have said the state is still spending less on public
schools than
before the recession.

"Public schools aren't getting the money
that's been cut from the budget," said Rick Muir, president of
the American Federation of
Teachers-Indiana. "They can claim that all they want, but public schools
are receiving much
less funding than they have prior to
vouchers."
